%*+# that! Please tell me you guys didn’t take him. First for his attire and second for his attitude. He’d be taking the next flight if he tried to pull that with me even IF there was room in the back. Sounds like he needs a solid slap in the face to knock some humility into him.


We gave him a little piece of our mind after the flight. He then had the stupidity to ask if one of us were Navy and thus the reason for the riff. This guy was a total idiot. Let’s just say the jumpseat committee knows all about him now. He was also CASS denied so go figure.

Can you kind of outline for us your thought process that led to you letting him on? Dress code at my carrier is pretty relaxed for a number of reasons, but if I *were* flying for a passenger carrier with any kind of dress code, I could visualize myself going out on a limb a little and maybe looking the other way for someone who was otherwise a decent sort. I really have a tough time seeing myself bending the rules much for a guy who is is a complete douche, and also is that far out of compliance the dress code.

Both of us work for SWA and we have an extremely relaxed JS dress code, but military flight suit?! Are you kidding me? Then even worse is the attitude. Yeah.....you’re denied AND I’m turning it in to our JS Committee. YHGTBSM.

Agreed. The whole thing leaves me scratching my head on why on earth would you let a guy like this think it was okay to act like he did and show up for a jumpseat dressed like that.

Was it CASS denied because your computer system has an amazingly painful way of not processing jumpseaters. All the ALPA carriers did the heavy lifting to get CASS and KCM. Glad you guys get to use what the rest of us paid for. Any chance you could at least try to make your system work?
